Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 2 Sites, 1 DB, Possible?Yup, it’s easy. In each site’s “wpconfig.php” file, set the table prefix to some unique value, other than the default “wp_” value. Then both (or all 10 in my case) blogs can use the same database, but remain completely independent from each other. So one blog might use “blog1_” as a prefix, the other would use “blog2_” for the prefix. Capiche?
There is also a multi-user version of WordPress being developed at http://mu.wordpress.org (I think that’s the addy) that might cover your needs as well, but I don’t know what it’s status is.

In reply to: Exhibit Install problemQuite odd. The first time Exhibit shows up on your posting page, it should contain a link for you to click (clicking that link creates the tables in the database that Exhibit needs). Have you gotten that far with it? Or is there simply no Exhibit frame beneath the text entry box at all?

In reply to: why i just uninstalled – and why i’d love to come back somedayTry deleting your browser cookies, or at least the ones with your domain name on them. Make sure to check for cookies both with and without the “www” in front. If none of the other hints has helped, that might.

In reply to: The comment system is about to drive me insaneYou might have a blank line somewhere in your Spam Words list. Double-check it.
And (as always), double-double-check your moderation settings 🙂

In reply to: New Plugin: Fancy Drop Case LettersActually, my problem is that I can’t get the plugin from the website anymore 🙁 Just get a 404 error.

In reply to: How do I stop this BSI didn’t say that ‘someone’ could not do it, I said that a server cannot do it without assistance from another piece of software. There is no way to configure IIS (or Apache, for that matter) to intercept traffic meant for another machine and insert links back to itself. That can only be done two ways – a 3rd party application installed on the client machine (certain types of spyware, for example), or, as you said, someone doing it manually after intercepting the client’s connection.
In other words, Microsoft did not have anything to do with what was happening to him, since there is no server that can physically do that. It *requires* interference from some external software.

In reply to: How do I stop this BSSpeaking as a hardcore geek, there is, to my knowledge, no way for a 3rd party server (Microsoft’s, for example) to hijak traffic intended for another server (yours, in this case), by any method – including remotely inserting links into your site’s pages – without the use of 3rd party utilities – commonly known as Spyware(TM) 🙂
Please consider switching to Firefox 🙂

In reply to: How do I stop this BSI clicked, but nowhere did I find the word ‘jewlery’ or obviously unintentional links to Microsoft….

In reply to: Importing posts from another WP BlogYou know, I’ve been trying to figure out how to do this for about a week now. I’m in almost exactly the same situation as CJC was, but I was getting ready to roll my own solution – kind of as a PHP excercise.
But no point reinventing the wheel if it ain’t broke 🙂
Soooo, 2fargon, when I run your script on me blog (the old one, this is), it looks like it’s getting all the posts and comments, but the very last line is a MySQL warning about mysql_affected_rows(). Issat normal?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: can’t change scrollbarsLoli, this can depend on your browser as well. If you’re using Internet Explorer, then the scrollbar colours can be changed. And that’s it. Scrollbars always inherit the system colours with every other browser. IE is the only one that allows them to be changed.

In reply to: Kubrick Bundled – AARRGGHH!!!And always check what files are about to be uploaded. It only takes a couple extra minutes to compare the old/new folders (or a matter of seconds if you can DIFF them), and you’ll know right away if something is going to be overwritten that shouldn’t be.

In reply to: Why did YOU choose WordPress?It’s true, it’s true – women are very attracted to WordPress blogs. I can prove it 🙂
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Why did YOU choose WordPress?First reason, customizability. The templating system pre-1.5 is admittedly a bit clumsy, but it was still pretty easy to do. The new builds just keep getting slicker with regards to the theming capabilities. And XHTML standards compliance is a Good Thing (TM).
Second, ease of use/admin/maintenance. Self-explanatory – it was the easiest to work with, extend, and the least confusing for non-geek users.
Finally, the highly active support and development communities.
And really finally, extensibility. Plugins are easy to write (well, easy to start, at least – I’m not that good at PHP yet) and seamlessly integrate new stuff into just about any part of the software.
Not to mention how classy “WordPress” sounds to the ladies 😀
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Exhibit Install problemExhibit only shows up if you’re editing a post, not while you create a new one. So write a new post, save it, then edit it (or hit the “Save and continue editing” button). The Exhibit frame should appear below the text entry box.
Of course, if you’re doing that and it’s still not showing up, double-check to make sure it’s actually activated on the Plugins page and that all the included files are in the right places.
And if it’s still playing “Violet” on you, let us know what version of PHP,Apache/IIS, and WordPress you’re using 🙂
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: ?Bug? in WP 1.2.2?Yup, PHP4 under Apache 2 works perfectly well with the 1.2x versions of WordPress, though I couldn’t get it to install using PHP5 and Apache 2. If you install with PHP4 and then upgrade (or switch servers) to PHP5, it works, but I did notice a certain am0unt of flakiness.
So far no problems at all running the nightlies with PHP5 and Apache 2 🙂
